"Despite huge advances in cyber security, one weakness continues to overshadow
all others: human error.

Research has consistently shown human error is responsible for an overwhelming
majority of successful cyber attacks. A recent report puts the figure at 68%.

No matter how advanced our technological defences become, the human element is
likely to remain the weakest link in the cyber security chain. This weakness
affects everyone using digital devices, yet traditional cyber education and
awareness programs – and even new, forward-looking laws – fail to adequately
address it.

So, how can we deal with human-centric cyber security related challenges?"
